States with No Invites/Regionals

Pepperonipi, what do you think should be done for states that have no competitions other than their state tournaments, such as Delaware and Montana? Tailsfan101 (talk) 19:30, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

Hmm, in my opinion the first 3 columns of the progress table can be marked with a "-" (or something similar), but I think the state page could certainly be reviewed for proper information (like just making sure the state tourney info is updated). Don't really see a point in making a Navbox for just a state tournament. Others' opinions always welcome of course. ~ Pepperonipi ^talk 19:53, 4 February 2020 (UTC)

State Results Table

Hey guys. Thanks for the help on this project. Wanted your opinion on something.

I saw you guys are starting to make yearly state tournament results pages (such as 2019 Idaho State Tournament), which is great, but unfortunately there's no supported template for those types of pages yet, so I would like to build one. (Just for the normal reasons of templating: reducing table complexity, ability to mass change templates, etc.) It would produce the results tables for each division of the tournaments (similar to Template:Invitational results box or Template:Regional results box). It will look the exact same as what are on the pages now.

Do you guys have a preference between how the template is built?

Templates Code 1 Code 2 {{State results box |div=C |1st_name=[[Treasure Valley Homeschool]] |1st_points=28 |2nd_name=[[Bishop Kelly High School]] |2nd_points=62 ... }} {{State results box |div=C |1st={{Srb row |name=[[Treasure Valley Homeschool]] |points=28 }} |2nd={{Srb row |name=[[Bishop Kelly High School]] |points=62 }} }}

Let me know if you have any other comments as well! Thanks! ~ Pepperonipi ^talk 22:02, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Yes, I was thinking we need a template for that too. Of your two above examples, I'm leaning towards Code 1, for the purpose of not needing a "Srb row" template. It don't know how much easier it would be than the basic table that is already in use, though:

Table | [[Treasure Valley Homeschool]] | 1st | 28 |- | [[Bishop Kelly High School]] | 2nd | 62 |- |}

I see that for each row (not counting the variables, team name and points), Code 1 has 22 characters, Code 2 has 30, and the current table has 11. Of course, one main advantage to a template would be the beginning:

Current table:

{|class="wikitable sortable" style="width:75%; height=50px" border="1" |- ! School ! Place ! Points |-

Proposed template:

{{State results box |div=C

Here's another possible template that limits the characters to 13:

Code 3 {{State results box |div=C |1=[[Treasure Valley Homeschool]] |1_points=28 |2=[[Bishop Kelly High School]] |2_points=62 … }}

I know that this would not be as uniform with other templates, such as Template:State tournament results box, but it does simplify things a bit (if it is possible). As I see it, we have several options. Tailsfan101^talk 23:40, 26 March 2020 (UTC)

Making a template is the best course of action for the future of this project in my opinion, and I think the third option is the way to go. I don't really see the need for a separate row box for this purpose, and keeping the number of characters down makes it easier to edit. I don't really have much else to add, though. I'm happy with the decision no matter what's chosen. --Jaspattack (talk) 04:24, 27 March 2020 (UTC)
